Traditional Net-making with Daniel Rumbolt
Date: Mar 29
2:30 pm
- 4:30 pm
Where: Art Gallery Classroom
Workshop
Nets are a multi-purpose tool - objects meant to catch, to hold, to support, and to contain. Join artist Daniel Rumbolt to learn the traditional art of net making, with an unconventional twist!
During the workshop, you will learn the basics of hand-knitting a net using materials such as wool, yarn, and twine. This basic technique can be applied in many ways to create both functional tools or decorative works of art.
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms Members. Please call (709)757-8090 to book your post.
